Aging of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome fibroblasts is characterised by hyperproliferation and increased apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that mimics certain aspects of aging prematurely. Recent work has revealed that mutations in the lamin A gene are a cause of the disease.

Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

Mouse models of nesprin-related diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Nesprins (nuclear envelope spectrin repeat proteins) are a family of multi-isomeric scaffolding proteins. Nesprins form the LInker of Nucleoskeleton-and-Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex with SUN (Sad1p/UNC84) domain-containing proteins at the nuclear envelope,

Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying muscular dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The muscular dystrophies are a group of heterogeneous genetic diseases characterized by progressive degeneration and weakness of skeletal muscle. Since the discovery of the first muscular dystrophy gene encoding dystrophin, a large number of genes have ...

Testing the Feasibility of a Passive and Active Case Ascertainment System for Multiple Rare Conditions Simultaneously: The Experience in Three US States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Owing to their low prevalence, single rare conditions are difficult to monitor through current state passive and active case ascertainment systems.

Deep clinicopathological phenotyping identifies a previously unrecognized pathogenic EMD splice variant

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2021
Exome sequencing (ES) has revolutionized rare disease management, yet only ~25%–30% of patients receive a molecular diagnosis. A limiting factor is the quality of available phenotypic data.

Physiology of respiratory disturbances in muscular dystrophies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited myopathies characterised by progressive skeletal muscle wasting, including of the respiratory muscles. Respiratory failure, i.e.
